1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
E succedeu que, acabando elle de fallar com Saul, a alma de Jonathan se ligou com a alma de David: e Jonathan o amou, como á sua propria alma.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
E Saul n'aquelle dia o tomou, e não lhe permittiu que tornasse para casa de seu pae.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.
E Jonathan e David fizeram alliança: porque Jonathan o amava como á sua propria alma.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
E Jonathan se despojou da capa que trazia sobre si, e a deu a David, como tambem os seus vestidos, até a sua espada, e o seu arco, e o seu cinto.
5 And David went out; whithersoever Saul sent him, he had good success; and Saul set him over the men of war; and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
E sahia David aonde quer que Saul o enviava, e conduzia-se com prudencia, e Saul o poz sobre a gente de guerra: e era acceito aos olhos de todo o povo, e até aos olhos dos servos de Saul.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.
Succedeu porém que, vindo elles, quando David voltava de ferir os philisteos, as mulheres de todas as cidades de Israel sairam ao encontro do rei Saul, cantando, e em danças, com adufes, com alegria, e com instrumentos de musica.
7 And the women sang one to another in their play, and said: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
E as mulheres tangendo, se respondiam umas ás outras, e diziam: Saul feriu os seus milhares, porém David os seus dez milhares.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said: 'They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and all he lacketh is the kingdom!'
Então Saul se indignou muito, e aquella palavra pareceu mal aos seus olhos, e disse: Dez milhares deram a David, e a mim sómente milhares; na verdade, que lhe falta, senão só o reino?
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
E, desde aquelle dia em diante, Saul tinha David em suspeita.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house; and David played with his hand, as he did day by day; and Saul had his spear in his hand.
E aconteceu ao outro dia, que o mau espirito da parte de Deus se apoderou de Saul, e prophetizava no meio da casa: e David tangia com a sua mão, como de dia em dia: Saul porém tinha na mão uma lança.
11 And Saul cast the spear; for he said: 'I will smite David even to the wall.' And David stepped aside out of his presence twice.
E Saul atirou com a lança, dizendo: Encravarei a David na parede. Porém David se desviou d'elle por duas vezes.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
E temia Saul a David, porque o Senhor era com elle e se tinha retirado de Saul.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Pelo que Saul o desviou de si, e o poz por chefe de mil: e sahia e entrava diante do povo.
14 And David had great success in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
E David se conduzia com prudencia em todos os seus caminhos, e o Senhor era com elle.
15 And when Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in awe of him.
Vendo então Saul que tão prudentemente se conduzia, tinha receio d'elle.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
Porém todo o Israel e Judah amava a David, porquanto sahia e entrava diante d'elles.
17 And Saul said to David: 'Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife; only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles.' For Saul said: 'Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.'
Pelo que Saul disse a David: Eis que Merab, minha filha mais velha, te darei por mulher; sê-me somente filho valoroso, e guerreia as guerras do Senhor (porque Saul dizia comsigo: Não seja contra elle a minha mão, mas sim a dos philisteos).
18 And David said unto Saul: 'Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?'
Mas David disse a Saul: Quem sou eu, e qual é a minha vida e a familia de meu pae em Israel, para vir a ser genro do rei?
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
Succedeu, porém, que ao tempo que Merab, filha de Saul, devia ser dada a David, ella foi dada por mulher a Adriel, meholathita.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Mas Michal, a outra filha de Saul amava a David: o que, sendo annunciado a Saul, pareceu isto bom aos seus olhos.
21 And Saul said: 'I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.' Wherefore Saul said to David: 'Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law through the one of the twain.'
E Saul disse: Eu lh'a darei, para que lhe sirva de laço, e para que a mão dos philisteos venha a ser contra elle. Pelo que Saul disse a David: Com a outra serás hoje meu genro.
22 And Saul commanded his servants: 'Speak with David secretly, and say: Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'
E Saul deu ordem aos seus servos: Fallae em segredo a David, dizendo: Eis que o rei te está mui affeiçoado, e todos os seus servos te amam; agora, pois, consente em ser genro do rei.
23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said: 'Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?'
E os servos de Saul fallaram todas estas palavras aos ouvidos de David. Então disse David: Parece-vos pouco aos vossos olhos ser genro do rei, sendo eu homem pobre e desprezivel?
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying: 'On this manner spoke David.'
E os servos de Saul lhe annunciaram isto, dizendo: Foram taes as palavras que fallou David.
25 And Saul said: 'Thus shall ye say to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.' For Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Então disse Saul: Assim direis a David: O rei não tem necessidade de dote, senão de cem prepucios de philisteos, para se tomar vingança dos inimigos do rei. Porquanto Saul tentava fazer cair a David pela mão dos philisteos.
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired;
E annunciaram os seus servos estas palavras a David, e este negocio pareceu bem aos olhos de David, de que fosse genro do rei: porém ainda os dias se não haviam cumprido.
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
Então David se levantou, e partiu elle com os seus homens, e feriram d'entre os philisteos duzentos homens, e David trouxe os seus prepucios, e os entregaram todos ao rei, para que fosse genro do rei: então Saul lhe deu por mulher a sua filha.
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
E viu Saul, e notou que o Senhor era com David: e Michal, filha de Saul, o amava.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.
Então Saul temeu muito mais a David: e Saul foi todos os seus dias inimigo de David.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David prospered more than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
E, saindo os principes dos philisteos, succedeu que, saindo elles, David se conduziu mais prudentemente do que todos os servos de Saul: portanto o seu nome era mui estimado.
